Join 189 law schools in discovering more about legal education from your students' perspective.

LSSSE is based on decades of research on effective educational practices related to desirable learning outcomes. Survey items represent empirically confirmed 'good practices.'

LSSSE gathers information from law students to assess the extent to which they engage in educational practices associated with high levels of learning and development.

Law schools receive valid, reliable information about the quality of the law school experience to help identify what is going well and what would benefit from more attention.

ACTIONABLE RESULTS

LSSSE results point to aspects of student and institutional performance that law schools can use to set benchmarks and chart progress towards goals.

Law Schools receive results in the form of custom tailored reports, comparative findings, and raw data. Statistical comparisons with custom peer groups add meaningful context for assessment and research purposes.

LSSSE is a valuable assessment tool, especially in a climate of reform. By providing valid and reliable data, LSSSE can help administrators and faculty move beyond anecdotes and assess impact in a systematic way.

LSSSE aligns closely with ABA Standards, particularly the mandate that schools assess student learning outcomes. LSSSE is centered on the concept of student engagement, a commonly cited proxy for student learning. Law schools receive an Accreditation Toolkit with their results, which outlines timelines and strategies for using LSSSE in the accreditation and review process. The Accreditation Toolkit maps survey questions to specific ABA Standards.
